Love your videos!

Have you checked the brushes?

I discovered you on YouTube today and watched all of your videos. Great stuff, keep 'em coming!

Those locks do bring to mind teats on a bore hog, but I wish I had a key that would fit mine.

While doing the annual inspection last month, it occurred to me that I had never operated that air door since buying the airplane last year. It worked as advertised but I took that as a reminder to check it's operation occasionally. That was also a good time to lubricate the spring (for corrosion co...

It would be worth checking the Master Switch. It is a double pole single throw switch, one set of contacts is for the master (battery) relay and the other set is for the generator. If you have intermittent contact or high resistance through the contacts it will definitely cause problems.

Same here Miles. I like things that make common sense and are easy to operate, as with Foreflight. This brings to mind McDonald's and their new "kiosks" for ordering your meal. I always bypass that and walk up to an actual person. Almost always I can order, get my meal, sit down and someti...

It's a game wherein you pitch small bean bags at a piece of plywood mounted at a slant with holes in it. At least I think that is correct.

She has an impressive writing ability. Maybe she could be coaxed into writing more stories of flights with her dad in their 170 and have them printed in the 170 News. Great article!

I will keep an eye out for you. If it's not foggy we will take off around daylight and should get there before noon.

My wife and I, along with some friends, are planning to rendezvous at the Triple Tree flyin next Friday. Anyone else planning to fly there? Hopefully the weather will cooperate...

I also have a 4 year old grandson that will very soon be introduced to flight in a 170.

How can you tell for sure they were or weren't from the factory. The original equipment list is available from Cessna for your plane. Here’s a screen shot of mine: 1CF127C3-B1F1-4CC7-AEE9-67EBF51D248A.jpeg Check with your A&P but my guess is he’ll say it’s a minor alteration. “Installed right s...

Roger that George!

Sorry I missed you too Miles. As it turns out, I'm still in your area today, heading toward Chicago later today probably. If all goes well we will be heading toward Cody on or about the 21st.
I'm up in this area every few months, I'll look you up next time. Safe travels!
